Actor Donald Cheadle has claimed that President Donald Trump used the n-word to a man he barely knew during a round of golf.

Cheadle, who is an outspoken critic of Trump, tweeted he'd "hated" the president ever since he allegedly used the racial slur when speaking about women to the father of one of his friends, at Trump's luxury resort in Florida.

Donald Cheadle has claimed that President Donald Trump used the n-word

"Hated him since he asked my friend's father at a Doral pro-am if he'd ever ‘f****d a n****r..." Did it for me..." Cheadle tweeted on Saturday.

The tweet was in reply to a follower named Brand Hoffa who had written “I've been following you since you made me laugh with that political boat posing reply. You were Trump hating way before treason."

The post prompted one user to ask the actor: "All due respect to you: cannot believe such a thing would be said this day and age. A public figure would say this?Naive, i am."

The Ocean's Eleven actor did not say when the alleged incident took place.

In another tweet, he wrote: "They were in a 4ball together. The Donald thought they were all "like minded." Mistook their shock for disgust."

He added: “Consider the kind of person who would so glibly and irreverently spout that [to a total] stranger.”

Another fan asked Cheadle if the man in question would go on the record with the story but he said he would not "because his daughter is famous and probably doesn't want that particular beef for her or her dad."

When asked if why he didn't reveal the incident during the election he said he didn't feel it would change the outcome.

"Many already know this to be in his nature. It's not hidden. And those who can't see it, might never. The story would have changed little," he said.
